Discover your new Tik Tok obsession, a SPICY reverse grumpy x sunshine sports romance!  Sebastian:  It's my final season to prove myself before the MLB Draft. The last thing I need is a distraction -especially not one as tantalising as Mia di Angelo. She's the drop-dead gorgeous astrophysicist-in-training who ditched me the moment I wanted to take us from casual to committed. But when she needs somewhere to stay for the summer... I can't help but offer her my place. Being roommates can't be that hard, can it...? Mia: I have two goals this summer: get into a study abroad program & get over baseball god Sebastian Miller-Callahan. It's not easy to stop thinking about him, but he deserves better than a prickly, career-focused girl like me. & the last thing I need is to play roommates with the only man who can set my body ablaze, when our futures could not be more different. But why do all the feelings I pretend that I never had come rushing back, far too strong for either of us to ig... ...

Action adventure starring Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel & Jamie Foxx as U.S. Navy pilots who are part of a close-knit elite division of test pilots flying highly classified stealth fighter jets, referred to only as Talons. They're the best of the best & they know it. Then their commanding officer Captain George Cummings (Sam Shepard) introduces the team to their new wingman
- an artificial intelligence-based UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle), nicknamed 'EDI.' Although Ben (Lucas) is hesitant about taking 'the human pilot out of the equation of war, ' Cummings orders the team to execute their first real mission alongside 'EDI.' To their amazement, 'EDI' proves to be a cracker-jack wingman & they successfully eliminate their target. But on the return trip to their base aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson, 'EDI' is struck by lightning. The drone's brain expands in ways its creators could never have predicted. Despite Ben & Henry's (Jamie Fox) reservations, Cummings declares 'EDI' ready to rejoin the team in the air. On their next mission against a nuclear-armed warlord in a remote Chinese province, 'EDI's' seriously compromised circuitry problems only get worse. Ben decides that the risks of the attack far outweigh the benefits to himself, Henry & Kara (Biel). When he aborts the mission, 'EDI' goes against orders & executes the hit anyway. The danger escalates when 'EDI' decides to execute a top-secret mission that, if successful, could spiral into worldwide nuclear Armageddon. & only Ben can prevent it.

Steam - A Life On The Railway

Details: Pete Waterman introduces this collection of stories told by the last generation of men to work on British Steam Railway. Before cars and planes, steam engines were the main form of transport, and in the early days the engine driver was the fastest man on earth. Travelling at 60mph (and much faster then a car). This collection includes reminiscences from the men who fulfilled their ambition and rode on the footplate. And they relate some colourful adventures, including steaming through pea-soupers and the difficulty with working with men much older than themselves. Ideal For: Anyone with a thirst for the past, these recordings atmospherically to life the smells and sounds of the railways.
